Systems and methods are described herein for generating a playlist for a simultaneous presentation of a plurality of media assets. The system retrieves a user preference associated with a user profile and receives a selection of a first media asset and a second media asset from the plurality of media assets for presentation on a user device. The system parses the respective audio streams of the first media asset and the second media asset to identify one or more preferred audio segments based on the user preference and generates the playlist of the identified one or more preferred audio segments. Based on a generated audio playlist, the system generates, for presentation on the user device, the video stream for each of the first media asset and the second media asset and the playlist of the identified one or more preferred audio segments.

Methods and systems to provide a playlist for simultaneous presentation of a plurality of media assets

Systems and methods for improved video captions are disclosed. The methods for providing timed text comprise obtaining a plurality of subtitles for a media asset; determining a playback rate of the media asset; determining a relevance index based on the playback rate; and selecting a set of the plurality of subtitles based on the relevance index. The methods may further comprise determining an indication of priority of subtitles within the set of subtitles, rendering the set of subtitles according to the indication of priority, wherein the highest priority subtitles are rendered first.

Systems and methods for improved video captions

Methods and systems are provided for improving provider and consumer control of content items, channels, accounts, subscriptions, and related information including metadata. The information regarding the content items, channels, accounts, subscriptions, and related information including metadata is structured into formats suitable for determining past, present, and future user interest in content, likelihood to consume the content, and relatedness of content items. The determinations are used to generate recommendations. Content providers are provided with options to customize conditions of the determinations, the recommendations, and offers based on the same to be provided to consumers. Users are provided with the recommendations and are presented with options to change channel line-ups and subscriptions, including automatic changes based on selected parameters. Related apparatuses, devices, techniques, and articles are also described.

Methods and systems to improve control of content items, channels, accounts, subscriptions, and related information

Systems and methods are presented for providing of dynamic content based on user preferences, for example, identifying a consumer's preferences for a media asset and tailoring the media asset to the consumer's preferences to encourage the consumer to continue to consume the media asset. The system generates the media asset for consumption. The system identifies a media asset consumption profile based on the media asset and a viewer profile and identifies a second media asset that may be used to enhance to the first media asset. The system generates an enhanced media asset from the second media asset based on the viewer profile and provides the enhanced program for consumption. An enhanced media asset may include the video content of the first media asset and the audio and text content from the second media asset.

Methods and systems for providing dynamic content based on user preferences

Systems and methods are presented for providing to filter unwanted sounds from a media asset. Voice profiles of a first character and a second character are generated based on a first voice signal and a second voice signal received from the media device during a presentation. The user provides a selection to avoid a certain sound or voice in association with the second character. During a presentation of the media asset, a second audio segment is analyzed to determine, based on the voice profile of the second character, whether the second voice signal includes the voice of a second character. If so, the second voice signal output characteristics are adjusted to reduce the sound.

Methods and systems for selective playback and attenuation of audio based on user preference

Systems and methods are described for generating meme content. A content item is tagged with one or more first tags based on metadata for the content item. The content item having the one or more first tags is received at user equipment. The content item is tagged with one or more second tags based on a user profile. A segment of the content item is identified based on the first and second tags. The identified segment is stored for use in generating meme content.
